    SHEET 6: ROOF LIGHTING - Profile, North Light, Monitor Roof Light

    Uploaded by

    Bharat Gouripur
    Translucent sheet fixed in narrow bays to profiled steel sheets. This document discusses different types of roof lighting including profile lights that provide natural light through the roof, north lights that are fixed on the north-facing side of buildings, and monitor roof lights that are rectangular translucent panels mounted on a roof at an angle. It also discusses turbine or gravity vents, powered vents, roof curbs that raise roof penetrations above the level of the roof surface, and low-profile ridge vents designed to blend in with the roof.

    TURBINE / GRAVITY VENTS: Turbine vents also called round gravity vents are
    unpowered, yet allow rising heat to freely escape. Made from 26 to 22 gauge
    steel, depending on the size, which ranges from 12" to 20" in diameter, round
    gravity vents can be used as either "whole building" or attic vents. Mounted on
    the roof slope, near the ridge, these unpowered vents also incorporate operating
    dampers for seasonal temperature changes.

    POWER VENT: When the project specifications require precise air movement and
    control, a power vent is normally used. While fabricated from steel, aluminum, or
    a combination of the two materials, power vents are available in a wide variety of
    throat and motor sizes. Power vents are capable of adjusting exhaust air flow to
    meet any changes within the structure or the environment.

    ROOF CURBS: Roof curbs are raised members used to support roof
    penetrations such as skylights, mechanical equipment, and roof
    hatches. The curb raises the penetration connection above the
    level of the roof surface, reducing the possibility of leakage. Curbs
    also provide improved, and level (if necessary), surfaces for
    attachment of additional roof accessories.
    Depending on the design requirements, a curb may
    be a 1 or 2-piece unit as shown in Figure , or a multi-piece unit
    with or without a separate, structural framework.
    Two piece curbs are generally used in retrofit
    applications where existing penetrations, such as chimneys or roof
    mounted equipment, cannot be removed and must be flashed
    One-Piece Curb around to provide a weather tight condition. Rooftop units that
    exceed the maximum weight requirements for single curbs will
    require a structural curb surrounded by a one or two-piece flashing
    curb attached to the roof system.

    RIDGE VENT: Low-profile ridge vents are commonly used with architectural-style roofs. They are designed to blend in with the rest of the
    roof color, shape, and style. Low-profile vents are mostly used in "attic" installations and are normally considered part of the roof venting
    system. They are installed in conjunction with the rest of the ridge closures and components on a roof installation.
